the Babylonians the same people-Who the Assyrians accord-

ing to Eusebius-To Vitringa-Mr. Mede-Witsius-Senna-

cherib, but the type of the mystical and true king of Assyria

and Babylon, Antichrist-Rules their dominions-With all

and more than all their blasphemy and idolatry-Has sacked

the true city, and profaned the spiritual temple of God—And

dragged the saints into captivity-Gog and Magog-Various

opinions respecting them-Antiochus and his forces as types

of Antichrist and the Turks-Coincides nearly with the little

horn in Daniel-Ultimately the Scythians, or Turks, and Tar-

ing it—That of Moses and of the Egyptians-Hieroglyphic

wisdom-The seven mountains not literal, but hieroglyphic

or emblematic-Else the woman who sitteth upon them, the

of gravel!!!—A dragon the symbol of a king-Bochart-

raoh signifies a dragon or crocodile-Worshipped by the Egyp-

tians-Hezekiah, and in him as the type-King Messiah

shipped by the Egyptians, and by the Israelites-Why bitten

by dragons or serpents-They had worshipped them in Egypt
